Trials is very skillful but I get bored after a while. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/this-guy-is-quite-good#post-3661874 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 12:44:09 +0000 MSP 3661874@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I think what made Danny Mac so famous (apart from just being bloody awesome of course)was the quality of video editing and really matching the music to the mood of his moves and the environment it was all performed in.</p> <p>I was sick of the background music on this within 30 secs and turned the sound down, which just lowers the overall impact. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/this-guy-is-quite-good#post-3661837 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 12:24:33 +0000 Superficial 3661837@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Most people don't follow trials videos. There's at least 5-6 people in the UK who are doing similarly big stuff, it doesn't really get coverage outside of the trials world though. Danny Mac gets all the plaudits because his riding is massively skilful and creative but in terms of raw trials (size of gaps, height of stuff he can get up) he's not in the big league (it's a different type of riding and not something he's really tried I guess). </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/this-guy-is-quite-good#post-3661347 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 08:26:55 +0000 Woody 3661347@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>Pretty good but there's plenty of people worldwide who could do all of that.</blockquote>Really <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_eek.gif" title="8O" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> <p><blockquote>Danny Mac is in a class of his own, and IMO this doesn't come close.</blockquote>Danny Mac is brilliant but some of the gap jumps are so big and smooth here eg. the truck and at 3:17 I find it hard to believe that there are many people who could do that, never mind make so effortless looking. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/this-guy-is-quite-good#post-3661218 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 01:35:34 +0000 bigblackshed 3661218@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>He's got balls of steel, I'll say that for the lad. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/this-guy-is-quite-good#post-3661215 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 01:21:22 +0000 Superficial 3661215@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Pretty good but there's plenty of people worldwide who could do all of that. It's very smooth and there's some big lines but none of the individual moves are THAT big. I don't want to take anything away from this guy because he's clearly put the hours in and is a good rider, but Danny Mac is in a class of his own, and IMO this doesn't come close.</p> <p>The gap to the truck isn't about momentum. He's using a tiny run in for a little bit of extra length but it's mostly coming from the explosive movement off the edge. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/this-guy-is-quite-good#post-3660892 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 22:13:55 +0000 Woody 3660892@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>How the hell does he do that at 3.40.<br /> If you watch it carefully it just looks impossible.</blockquote>The kicker goes some way to covering that one but I still can't see how he gets the momentum at 3 minutes to clear the gap to the truck.

Is the geometry the same, and is one lighter/more comfy than the other? Plus, would a 160mm fork work out ok - I know it's not the optimum recommended length.

I bought the Troof from CRC, it was on offer and before I realised what had happened I had to start grovelling to the wife. Been worth it though. I'd rather have gone through an LBS but I had an Mmmbop before so knew what size I wanted etc. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/worth-paying-the-extra-for-a-ragley-blue-pig-frame#post-3648521 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:31:17 +0000 chestrockwell 3648521@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Not [i]alleged issues with my mate's Bluepigs. First one's (Mk 1)seat tube was the wrong size leading to damaged parts. Took a year for a warrenty replacement to come (Mk 2)and when it did the head tube was out of shape and wouldn't take a headset. That one went back and he bought my old Orange. </p>
